This part it will focuses on how to process the data that we get from our survey. At the end of this chapter, we will able to organize, categorize or code and record the collected primary data, analyze collected data and lastly present our data using illustration such as table, charts and graphs.

It is the crucial part because; we need to analyze the result of our questions one by one. After the, we need interpreted it. However, with the guidelines from the lectures, we able to how to do it although there are some obstacles occur. We need to thank to Mdm Zalinda because she always support us although sometimes we feel give up because do not know how to do...

Writing a Research Proposal

Before make a real research, we need to do a proposal. Why we need to do a proposal? Actually, the chapter of research proposal expose the students to the skills of preparing a proposal for a research.

At the end, the students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of a research proposal and its importance and also prepare an outline of a research proposal and present it. A research proposal is a plan of action that describes in detail how the students plan to carry out a research and request permission to proceed with the plan.

Apart from that, there are two types of proposal which are internal or external and solicited or unsolicited. Then, there are also some elements that we need to put in the research proposal such as title, background of the problem, problem statement, purpose, research questions, significance of the study, scope, methodology, work schedule and also sample of the research that similar with our topic.

With this proposal, students are well- planned and know what is the next step to do. So that, they will proceed with their research without any problems.

My First Impression towards R&P Subject.

This semester, semester four students were compulsory to take Research & Project subject. This subject was teaching by Madam Zalinda and Madam Umi Kalsom. My first impression towards this subject is negative.

I thought that this subject was very hard and tough to carry. We need to do some major research which are do a proposal, make a report and lastly present our report. But, after learn this subject, my perception was totally wrong.

This subject also have their own text book which call “Academic Report Writing; from Research to Presentation” to guide us on how to do a good research by following their steps. In this book, every chapter was start with statements of learning outcomes and a set of warm- up activity. So that, the students will more understand towards the topic.

Apart from that, the lecturer who are teach our class is very kind and tolerate and this make us more comfortable to learn and understand this subject. As the conclusion, my first impression towards this subject was totally wrong. Actually, this subject was very interesting because we can learn how to conduct research and make a report.

Other than that, we also can learn a new thing such as how to distribute the questionnaire to the outsiders. Lastly, I hope I will success with my research and manage to get “A” for this subject.
